D. PAYMENT TERMS. The Seller agrees to exert its best efforts to perform the
services called for herein based on the Contract prices set forth herein, but
the parties further understand and agree that Federal law (10 US Code 4543)
requires advance incremental funding by the Buyer before any such work is

contract is set forth in the payment schedule below. The Buyer also
understands and agrees that the Seller will perform no work if such advance
funding has not been received. The Buyer further understands and agrees
that the Seller is legally prohibited from incurring costs in excess of the funds

performance of work and will not initiate further work until additional

with the delivery requirements in the attached Scope of Work/Specification.
The period of service is 1 March 2014 through 28 February 2015.
H. DELAYS. Seller agrees to notify the Buyer immediately if progress under this
agreement is delayed in any manner. If delay is due to material breach in the
responsibilities of the Buyer and over which the Buyer has control, the Seller
agrees to notify the Buyer in writing of such a breach. However, in no case
shall work be delayed due to a dispute under this contract. Any delay
accepted by the Buyer shall be evidenced by written modification to this
agreement. Seller shall continue to perform to the best of their ability until
all work under this agreement is complete, subject to the availability of
funding.
I. INDEMNIFICATION. As required by Title 10 US Code 4543(a)(6), the Buyer
expressly agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Seller and the United
States to the extent authorized by applicable law, except in a case of willful
misconduct or gross negligence, from any and all claims for property damage
(including repair and replacement cost, and loss of beneficial use) and all
claims for injury (including bodily injury and disease) or death to any person
arising out of the performance of this contract or the sale of any article or
service contracted for in this agreement. This hold harmless and
indemnification requirement includes, but is not limited to, the cost of
litigation (including Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) expenses, court costs,
and Government attorney’s fees) and all reasonable settlement expenses
and costs.
J. TERMINATION. The Buyer may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in
part, at any time by providing written notice via registered or certified mail
to the Seller. Such notice must be signed by an official of the TexAmericas
Center with actual authority to issue such a contract termination. In such
event the Seller will immediately comply with the termination directive and
take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the
termination. To the extent that an order is not terminated in whole, the
Seller shall continue performance. Advanced incremental funding received in
excess of cost incurred which results from such complete or partial
termination will be reimbursed to the Buyer in an amount negotiated
between the parties.
K. CANCEL OR SUSPEND. The Seller and the US Government reserve the right to
cancel or suspend all or part of its performance under this contract in the
event that such performance is deemed by the Department of Defense, the
Department of the Army, or other Defense Command Agency (e.g. US Army
Page 3
Direct Sales Contract W911RQ-14-C-DS02
Tank-automotive and Armaments Command), to interfere, for any reason,
with the performance of work by the Seller on behalf of the Department of
Defense in support of one of its contracts, or for any reason is determined to
not be in the best interest of the United States. The fight to cancel or
suspend performance hereunder shall be in addition to the right reserved by
the US Government to cancel or suspend performance under this contract
for unusual and compelling circumstances when the national interest of the
United States so requires. The Buyer agrees that the seller shall not become
liable to the Buyer as a result of such cancellation or suspension. When such
a cancellation or suspension occurs, the Seller will return to the Buyer any
advanced incremental funding received but not yet expended or incurred
against the contract. Seller agrees to promptly notify the Buyer in the event
the performance of this Contract is canceled or suspended pursuant to this
provision.
L. CHANGES. During the performance of this Contract, the Buyer may require
addition to, alterations of, or deductions or deviations (all hereinafter
referred to as a “change”) to the scope of work for services to be furnished
by the seller. No change shall be considered as an addition, alteration, or
deduction, or deviation to the scope of work, nor shall Seller be required to
perform such “change” services, nor be entitled to compensation for
performance of same or work done pursuant to or in contemplation of a
change unless a written modification to this Agreement is mutually agreed to
and signed by an authorized representative of each party.
M. DISPUTE PREVENTION. Each party is committed to a dispute prevention
atmosphere during the performance of this Agreement and each party
recognizes that cooperation, rather than confrontation, is an effective and
efficient way to accomplish a joint work effort. In furtherance of that goal,
the parties agree to take steps to establish a cooperative process for
evaluating progress and solving problems. The parties recognize that the
development of a cooperative and structured team process for dealing with
unexpected problems is a useful mechanism for establishing open
communication and dispute prevention. The parties agree that the
settlement of a dispute through a negotiated settlement or through
alternate dispute resolution (ADR) methods to avoid litigation will increase
the opportunity for relatively inexpensive and expeditious resolution of
issues in controversy. The parties further agree that when both parties
recognize the existence of an issue in controversy that cannot be resolved by
a timely negotiated settlement, the parties will elect to participate in an ADR
process by agreeing to alternate procedures and processes to be used in lieu
of formal litigation which includes participation by officials, or their
Page 4
Direct Sales Contract W911RQ-14-C-DS02
representatives, of both parties that have the authority to resolve the issue
in controversy.
N. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Both parties recognize their responsibility to
comply with all applicable federal laws, executive orders, and rules and
regulations applicable to a Federal Installation during the performance of this
Contract.
O. DURATION. This Contract is effective from the date of execution and will
terminate upon 30 days written notice by either party, upon the completion
of all Seller obligations under this Contract, or operation of Law.
P. OPTIONS.
a. Option for Increased Quantity. The Buyer may have a requirement for the
Seller to produce and deliver additional items identified in paragraph 1 or
may have a requirement for the Seller to produce other similar items or
to perform additional services during the course of this contract. Upon
notification by the Buyer and agreement of the Seller that additional
quantities or items may be added or services performed, a modification
to the contract will be prepared to identify those items, quantities,
prices, and delivery requirement. Additional funding will be provided
with the executed modification prior to the Seller beginning the added
work.
b. Option to Extend the Term of the Contract. The term of this contract will
not exceed 12 months unless otherwise extended. The contract may be
extended beyond the 12-month period by modification of the contract;
however, the contract, to include extensions, will not exceed a total of 24
months unless otherwise agreed to by both the Buyer and the Seller
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Contract effective as of
the date indicated above.
